assassination

Ghost Li looked over fro in dark, he saw an elderly, his face was thin and bony, wearing a long grey robe, siestures did not look different from the others, if he was to appear in the streets, most probably nobody could tell that this person was a cultivated Taoist priest

But the expressions on the two people following behind hiant, see elderly, his expressions and gestures showed his constant attentiveness

Right now after they had heard the elderly’s question, Li Xun hesitated for a moment and then said, “Teacher uncle is astute, actually it was because the human fish barbaric tribe leader died of unnatural causes and so those e, this then…”

By then, the three of therey-clothed elderly frowned and indifferently said, “How did the human fish tribe leader die?”

Li Xun forced a s to teacher uncle, three days ago that hu LuShun teacher uncle at ‘Nameless ancient temple’ at northern HeGu Hill, was suddenly assassinated by a highly skilled martial artist less than one mile from the temple”

The grey-clothed elderly,his surprise and said, “Who is the murderer?”

Li Xun shook his head, said, “We have investigated for several days but did not find any clues” He seemed to hesitate and then continued to say, “We should have reported this matter to teacher uncle earlier but valley uarding the important place, Inferno Altar, for nearly a hundred years and has long since take no concern in the mundane affairs, therefore did not wish to disturb teacher uncle”

The grey-clothed elderly laughed and said, “Hoould I not know the good intentions of Valley Master I guess if not for the fact that the barbaric tribe still has its uses and old rees of influence left when old man me had subdued them at that time, if not valley master will not wish to bother this old man already”

Li Xun s but that elderly see to continue on the topic and said, “Was LuShun at the scene at that time? If its just within one mile, don’t tellfor three feet, he would have find it long ago”

Li Xun heard it and could not help but glance at YanHong YanHong hesitated and then softly said, “Guessed that killer was really too cunning and his skills was too high, after achieving his aim with one strike, he immediately fled, therefore even LuShun teacher uncle was unable to catch this person”

That elderly humphed and did not speak any of disdain was felt and evidently, he did not think very well of that LuShunand Li Xun

The three of the and had already crossed al further and further away frouard but his body was still uptight, he heard that elderly asked a question from afar but because of their distance, he could not hear it clearly but indistinctly he heard that elderly asked about the current human fish creatures’ situation

Li Xun acknowledged behind him, said, “The situation is now under control, LuShun teacher uncle brought a group of disciples to trap those hu his powerful abilities, crushed those hu each other Those hue for their tribe leader, valleyto break off all ties totally and so sent us to invite teacher uncle…”

Suddenly, a sharp cry was heard fro far to where they were, the sound was extremely mournful Everyone was shocked and Li Xun said, “It see from the valley entrance!”

Before they could react, the sounds of fights started again, roars and cries were incessantly heard, the valley which had just becaain was enveloped by the hubbub

Their expressions changed, the grey-clothed elderly snorted, flung his sleeve and in an instant, transfored up into the sky, swiftly flying towards the valley entrance, Li Xun and YanHong too urgently followed

Until their figures disappeared totally into the night sky, Ghost Li then sloalked out, thought for a while and then turned and looked at the Inferno Altar

The enormous architecture towered over him, even the white jade stone pillar beside hiht, not to say that cri above it

Not far ahead, was the staircase fro walked down from Ghost Li looked towards that staircase, all of it was also built froe cri railings and slabstones

Slowly stepping forward, Ghost Li walked up, the temperature see onto burning fire instead of the crimson stones

The staircase stretched up with thirty-six steps, aftera turn, continued to extend upwards Ghost Li inhaled deeply, his face cals and slabstone walls were smooth and plain, without any decorations, seemed especially quaint

Even the night breeze which blew over now see on Ghost Li’s shoulder, curiously watched its surroundings

Finally, after cliht stairs, Ghost Li reached the Inferno Altar

Although he had saw this place while standing below the Inferno Altar but now that he was on it, standing before the lofty building situated in thewhich was a hundred ti that spire tip like a sharp sword piercing the firnificantly small

The same crimson stone material, cut into enormous stone blocks of almost the saht, stacked together to for heat, Ghost Li clearly saw those stone blocks were stacked so closely together that as if even a knife would not be able to stab in between the gaps It was really uni Valley forefathers created such a work of ghost and Gods at that time

And he al but a ball of burning, raging enore that it al to fall inificant him

Ghost Li inhaled deeply, cal of shock and admiration, he then turned and carefully checked out the path to this Inferno Altar building Without any effort he found it

The entire altar-built-like-paGoda did not have a single , surrounded tightly by the huge cri tall, six chi wide door stood near him

Ghost Li walked over and very quickly discovered that even though this door was painted red but was still different fro stone walls, it was a wooden door Guessed it should be, if even the door for access was also a heavy stone door then it would be very troublesome!

Ghost Li stood before the door for a while and did not ilanced back

The entire Inferno Altar, other than the blistering heat, was silent

[Zhi ya!]

The next moment, he had pushed opened the door

At FenXiang Valley entrance, right now it had turned into a river of red, over a hundred tall and sturdy hu out loudly, extree weapons, there were spears, knives, swords and halberd, fought incessantly with the FenXiang Valley disciples surrounding theround, severed limbs remains were seen everywhere, quite a nu Valley disciples but more were the human fishes

As for those severed lie-natured human fishes

But even though the scene was shocking and the hu Valley side was gradually suppressing the huher skilled disciples formed a semicircle formation and attacked in

However, those hue and their bodies were very much different frohter received a sword slash fro Valley disciples, they would also be hurt but those human fishes for some reasons, their bodies were extre Valley disciples seemed to have receive sohly skilled disciples’ ical weapons hit onto their bodies, the human fishes were at most only thrown out and rarely blood was seen

But first, FenXiang Valley disciples had been training forone on one and including the ical weapon power, surpassed those barbaric hu and thick-skinned, FenXiang Valley disciples advanced and retreated, at times wielded their swords and attacked froained advantage

And a the disciples, one elderly was in command, it was that LuShun who Ghost Li had seen in that dilapidated ancient tely, evidently furious

While the fights were getting intense, suddenly aValley disciple who for a ht by a sickle-sied froround In an instant, several human fishes swamped over, the weapons danced and in a blink of an eye, dead, even his body was not kept whole

In that instant, FenXiang Valley disciples were in an uproar, estured rapidly, their weapons in the air iroups Miserable cries were heard instantly, several huical weapons

However those hue at the sight of blood spraying everywhere in the air but instead beca at all

LuShun wielded his sword and flew up to the air, shouted out in succession but regardless whether it was the hu Valley disciples, all were unbridled and none regarded his words, it see to start

And at this ht sky suddenly darkened, LuShun frowned and looked up, aover LuShun’s countenance changed and he snorted

That sheet of grey clouds rolled over with astonishi+ng speed, in a blink it had arrived and its force increased, the wind rapidly turned in the air and soon created a dia it, [wu] a sound, swiftly charged down from the sky

And aletation and trees were flipped out by the strong wind, stones and sands flew, those lower skilled FenXiang Valley disciples and so out

Everyone was shocked and before they could react, that tornado had already landed, in the shrill cries of the wind, [peng peng] loud sounds, several hue hand, were all hit flying, flew backwards and fell heavily onto the ground
